John,
The distance between 59.33N 25.36W and 58.39N 25.36W is
56.5010 nautical miles.
This calculation assumes the earth is a perfect sphere
with a radius of 3443.9 nautical miles.
This is the link (Ken's not that smart - needed a little help):
[jan.ucc.nau.edu]
Per the KTB's for each boat - on 22 December 1943: U 103 sighted U 364 moving North at 0623 in grid square AL 1531; U 364 also sighted U 103 at the same time and in the same grid square.(AL 1531 is approximately 59.30.00N, 25.12.00W)
